[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Young-won] Kyung Hee University Dental Hospital announced on the 2nd that periodontal resident Seo Gil-jong won the Best Resident Oral Presentation Award (Research Category) at the 62nd Annual Scientific Meeting hosted by the Korean Academy of Periodontology, held over two days starting from the 15th of last month.

The presented study is a randomized controlled trial exploring the effects of primary flap closure on severely damaged soft tissues of teeth in alveolar ridge preservation. Using an oral 3D scanner, information on the soft tissue morphology was recorded, and changes in the soft tissue were measured by superimposing Standard Tessellation Language (STL) files. The results showed that the presence or absence of primary flap closure did not have a significant impact on soft tissue changes after alveolar ridge preservation, providing a basis for treatment decision-making.

Resident Seo Gil-jong said, "I am very honored to receive such a meaningful award at the end of my residency," and added, "I am grateful to the excellent professors who provided much guidance, and I will continue to devote myself to dentistry."

The title of the award-winning research paper is 'What is the effect of primary flap closure in alveolar ridge preservation for damaged extraction sockets: Soft tissue outcomes.'
